As an ex-Representative from Georgia, and a Democrat- you don't have any say in the way YOU people were busy censoring free speech.
No matter how much you want to dig on that old "it's history" line, YOU people are the ones responsible for the "General Lee" not being a NASCAR pace car.
Because YOU made it wrong, you and your fellow Liberals in the NAACP are the ones that tied it directly to the clan and slavery. And all this Barbara Streisand you're spouting now about the glorious history and proud Red-necks.
While it is true that the Confederate Battle Flag has been used by extremist groups like the KKK, these groups also display the American Flag and the Christian cross in their rituals. However, the vast majority of the display of the St. Andrews Cross Flag is in a benign spirit of remembrance and reverence.
I am a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement, a Life Member of the NAACP, and a proud member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. As a cast member of "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the owner of several "General Lees", I can attest that the car and our show reflect the very best of American values, and that Hazzard County was a place where racism was not tolerated.
And you don't see any hypocrisy between your banning something you don't want anfd now wanting the same thing given to you...because you want it.

Collectivist, thy name is hypocrisy.
